Therapist in East Greenwich, Rhode Island Katie Anderson, Therapist

Katie Anderson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Rhode Island, who works with individuals across the lifespan, with a focus on young adults and adults seeking to create change in their lives. Many of her clients enter into treatment with symptoms of anxiety, depression, relational challenges, life transitions, emotion dysregulation, elevated stress levels and lifestyle management challenges. Katie’s approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping client understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors are inter-connected, so that they can begin to make targeted change. She works with clients and helps them understand how their physical responses to external stressors impacts their current behavior. She utilizes problem-solving with clients to introduce “pauses” for periods of tranquility and insight into how to respond rather than react in the face of change. Katie is focused on ensuring that her clients see real progress within the treatment process. Her style is interactive, non-judgmental, and positions clients as experts in their own life; where they currently are and where they want to go. Katie understands how past experience can influence current challenges, barriers and struggles. She works closely with clients on reframing their life narrative in a way that improves their self-confidence and self-compassion. Katie’s first priority when beginning with a new client is to ensure that they feel safe, validated and like an equal partner within the therapeutic process. As a experienced telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy more accessible.
